I'm looking at some land in southern Indiana that has had infrequent, but historic flooding.
Two major floods were the 1913 and 1937 floods with the more recent 2008 June flood.
While very rare, trying to grow walnut trees for 40-50 years means that there's a very good chance of another flood given the proximity of the Wabash and Ohio rivers. As such, the area is considered a floodplain. Most of the farm land is currently being used to farm corn.
I would love to learn about how black walnuts and large floods might impact them at different periods in their development.
